1 lH-l ,4-BENZODIAZEPINE- l -SULFONAMIDES BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Field of the Invention 5 This invention relates to novel organic compounds and is more particularly concerned with ll-l-l,4-benzodiazepme7- sulfonamides, and the process of production thereof.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The novel compounds and the process of this invention can be illustratively represented by the following sequence of forture VI: 5 5

in which R, R and R" are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and alkyl of one to four carbon atoms, inclusive.

The alkyl groups herein considered for the compounds of structure VI are methyl, ethyl, propyl isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl and the like.

The process of this invention comprises: (I) condensing a pnitrobenzenesulfonamide I with phenylacetonitrile in the 5 presence of a base to give a 3-phenyl-2,l-benzisoxazole-S-sul- 7 fonamide ll; catalytically hydrogenating II to obtain the cor responding 2amino-5-sulfamoylbenzophenone III, condensing the benzophenone III with ethyl glycinate to obtain the corresponding 2Hl,4-benzodiazepin-2-one IV, and if desired, alkylating IV with alkyl halides or dialkyl sulfates to obtain the corresponding trialkyl 2Hl,4-benzodiazepin-2 one.

In the event that a compound of formula VI is desired In which R and R are hydrogen and R" is alkyl, a modified procedure must be used, e.g., treating a 2-chloro-5-chlorosulfonylbenzophenone VII with ammonia at room temperature to obtain compound VIII, and then with alkylamine at 200 -300 C. in an autoclave for 2 to 4 hours to obtain 2-alkylamino-5 sulfamoylbenmphenone IX which can be converted to the compound Va below, in which R"' IS aikyl defined as above The reaction can be illustratively represented as follows:

I U as s or i kg v11 vm ll \a wherein R' is as defined above The novel products of formula VI have central nervous system depressant activity in dosages of 5-150 mg./kg. and act as good tranquilizers. sedative and anticonvulsants.

For example, a dosage of In mg./kg. of body weight of L3- dihydro-5-phenyl-7 dimethylsulfamoyl )-2H- l ,4- benzodiazepin-Z-one in mice causes half the mice to remain in a Petri dish for longer than 3 minutes (dish test" indicating tranquilization) In the chimney test, the effective dosage (ED,,,) for half the animals IS 63 mgJkg. and in the pedestal test the ED is 8.9 mg/kg The LD on the other hand, for this compound is more than I .000 mgjkg. The compound I .3 dihydro-S-phenyl-7-sulfamoyl- 2H l,4benzodiazepin'2-one Is also active in these tests, but at a lower level: Chimney test ED 1 l2 mg./kg., Dish test ED I42 mgJkg.

These compounds of formula VI can, therefore, be used in birds and mammals when needed, e.g., for minor veterinary operations, tranquilization during transport of animals by air plane, ship, train, truck and so on Administration to cattle horses, dogs, cats or the like. or zoo animals on long voyages in a quantity between 5 to ISO rngJkg. of body weight produces sedation and tranquilization and thereby reduces losses of valuable a'himals due to overexcitement and fighting among caged animals.

The novel compounds of formula VI can be administered to mammals and birds by both oral and parenteral routes in order to produce their pharmacological effects. For oral administra tion, unit dosage forms such as tablets, capsules, powders, granules, syrups, elixirs and the like containing the appropriate amount for treatment are used. For tablets, common pharmaceutical carriers such as starch, lactose, kaolin, dicalcium phosphate and the like are employed. Powders may also be used in gelatin capsules with or without carriers such as methylcellulose, magnesium stearate, calcium stearate. talc and the like. For fluid preparation, these compounds may be dissolved or suspended in aqueous alcoholic vehicles with or without buffering agents and with flavoring mixtures.

The starting materials of this invention are well known and reported in the literature.

In carrying out the process of the present invention, pnitrobenzenesulfonamide, dissolved in a lower alkanol, is treated with a solution of phenylacetonitrile and an alkali metal hydroxide in an organic solvent. The solvents for this reaction are generally alkanols, such as methanol, ethanol. propanol. and isopropyl alcohol. The reactants, pnitrobenzenesulfonamide and phenylacetonitrile, are usually in a ratio of l l to 1.l.2, that is, a slight excess of the phenylacetonitrile A large excessis used of the base which may be potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide The temperature of the reaction mixture is kept generally between -l and 30 C In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the solution containing the p-nitrobenzenesulfonamide is added slowly to the solution containing the potassium hydroxide and the phenylacetonitrile After stirring for l to 6 hours. the reaction mixture i allowed to warm to near room temperature and after recooling, is treated with an excess of cold water, having an initial temperature between l0-20 C. After stirring for onehalf to 4 hours at room temperature, the reaction mixture is filtered and from the filtrate, the desired 3-phenyl-2,lbemisoxazole-S-sulfonamide is obtained. The isolation of the material from the reaction mixture requires that the pH is lowered to about 8 or 9 by the addition of an acid such as acetic acid, while keeping the temperature at about room temperature The solid which then appears is purified by conventional means. such as extraction of impurities, recrystallization, chromatography and the like.

The thus-obtained 3-phenyl-2,l-benzisoxazole-S-sulfonamide is catalytically hydrogenated under conventional conditions. such as a hydrogen pressure between 20-60 lbs. .s.i., in

an inert organic solvent, preferably methanol or ethanol, withdimethylformamide added, at temperatures between l-35 C in the presence of from 1%-5% of catalyst, suitably a palladium or platinum catalyst. Under those conditions, the reaction period is between 2 to 6 hours. The termination of the reaction can be determined by the consumption of hydrogen. After termination of the reaction, the product is isolated and purified in conventional manner, that is elimination of the catalyst by filtration,,evaporation of the filtrate and crystallization and recrystallization of the residue from organic solvents such as ethanol, methanol, ether or the like.

The thus-obtained 2-amino-5-sulfamoylbenzophenone is then condensed with ethyl glycinate in an organic solvent. The reaction is generally carried out with an excess of 2 to 10 molar equivalents of ethyl glycinate per molar equivalent of the 2-amino-5-sulfamoylbenzophenone. In the preferred embodiment of this invention, the reaction is carried out with ethyl glycinate hydrochloride in pyridine or alkylated pyridine at a temperature between 50 C. and the refluxing temperature of the mixture The reaction period, depending on the temperature chosen, is between 12 and 72 hours. After termination of the reaction the product is isolated and purified by conventional means such as evaporation, extraction, crystallization, recrystallization, chromatography and combinations of these methods, or the like. The product. 1,3-dihydro-5- phenyl- -sulfamoyl-2 H-l,4-benzodiazepin-2-one is thus obtained in crystalline form.

The same reaction can be carried out with a starting compound in which the amino radical is substituted with alkyl, such as a p-nitrobenzene-N,N-dialkylsuTfonamide or with an intermediate 3-phenyl-2,l-benzisoxazole-S-sulfonamide compound These compounds can be prepared by reacting 3- phenyl-2,l-benzisoxazole 5-sulfonamide or pnitrobenzenesulfonamide with an alkylating agent such as dimethyl sulfate, diethyl sulfate, alkyl iodide or alkyl bromide in a basic solution In the preferred embodiment of this invention, compound I or compound ll in a methanol or ethanol solution and in the presence of a base, preferably sodium or potassium hydroxide in a quantity to keep the pH approximately at l l or higher is added. To this mixture, the alkylating reagent is added dropwise, while additional quantities of base are added to keep the alkalinity at all times above pH 1 l. The pH of the reaction mixture is determined by either taking aliquot samples and measuring electrically the pH, or simpler, by the addition of a suitable indicator The reaction is carried out at about reflux of the mixture during a period of one-half .to 2 hours. The product is obtained by diluting the reaction mixture with excess ice water. collecting the crude product and, if desired, purifying it before further reaction.

if a compound of formula V is desired in which, in addition to R and R, R is also alkyl, a compound of the formula IV in which R and R are alkyl, is treated with additional alkylating reagents, e.g., with dialkyl sulfate or alkyl iodide or bromide in the presence of an alkali base as described before.
